The only thing I will disagree with you on is that the Church will die...the Church will NEVER die, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. Those who have injured her will, but the Church itself never will. God bless.
I'll agree with you on that. There is no guarantee the Church in America will live in the medium term though.
One thing that troubles the left about the Pope, I think, is that in the catholic (in the universal sense) church, the US isn't that important.
